Vikings floki quotes
“The fly always follows the dead meat.” – Floki
“Fenrir, the giant wolf, could not be constrained by any means known to man, so the dwarves forged a chain, but not from metal. Nothing made by man could constrain Fenrir, so they forged it from the things we cannot see and the things we cannot hear. Like the breath of a fish… the sound a moving cat makes. The roots… of a mountain.” – Floki
“Floki the carpenter. Floki the fisherman. Floki the father!
Poor child to have such a father!” – Floki
“Some men lust for women, and others lust for gold, but I only lust to please the gods.” – Floki
“Nearby is Valhalla, vast and gold-bright. And every day, Odin chooses slain men to join him. They arm themselves and fight in the courtyard. They kill one another; but every night they rise again, and ride back to the hall, and feast. The roof is made out of shields. The rafters are spears. Coats of mail litter the benches. A wolf stands at the Western door and an eagle hovers above it. It has five hundred and forty doors, and when Ragnarok comes, eight hundred warriors will march out of each door, shoulder to shoulder.” – Floki
“I feel trapped, in all this happiness.” – Floki
“When the God Loki had done something terribly bad, the other Gods took him to a nasty dark cave. And there they chained him on three sharp rocks. And above him they fastened a vile snake so that its poison would drip, drip, drip, forever on Loki’s face.” – Floki
“I hate you, Ragnar Lothbrok. And I love you with all my heart. Why do you tear me away from myself?” – Floki
“Thor was angry with us. He beat his anvil and the waves grew
ever taller. Soaked the boats, and one went down, heavy with water.
We saw it, and heard the cries of the men hauled down into the deep.
And then, at first light, we saw another had vanished. Storm wrecked, the men all drowned.” – Floki
“Axe time! Sword time! Shields are splintered!” – Floki
“I’ve been told your god is a carpenter. And guess what? So am I.” – Floki
“The space between life and death, that’s where we are the most alive.” – Floki
“I have had a sign. A sign that blood must be
spilled, a sacrifice be made. I have waited a long time for such a sign. And now my purpose is clear.” – Floki
“Everything I do, Ragnar, is for you.” – Floki
“When Balder, Odin’s beloved son died, not only did people weep.
But fire wept.
And iron, and all the other metals wept.
The stones wept.
Earth wept.
Farewell, voyager.
Farewell, my heart.
Farewell… for now.”
– Floki
